this factor influences the team's collective intelligence in what was to me an unexpected way. The ceiling for a team's (any field) collective iq is limited by the lowest eq among the team members.

Food for thought.

LOL Not sure he passed anyone, but he definitely looks like a rotation player. Going to be fun watching him - and so far this looks like it's going to be fun to watch more often than not.

Based on my personal experience, the US is facing a critical shortage of bookshelf space.

See the thing is some people think it was going to be a 2-3 year transition. The reality is it's 7-8 year transition, and it's not done. When you've got a star like Steph, you can't transition until he retires.

When Nabokov was teaching lit at Cornell, it was said that he had students read the entire book first to get things he thought were minor details (plot, etc) out of the way so that the students could concentrate on the writing, not the story.

There are several reasons, I think, why "the continents" are the conceptual basis for European-style geography. One of the big ones is seeing a large body of water as a barrier rather than a highway. The Med was and is far more the latter.

"It's a population stink."
"um, I think you mean population sink."

speedwalking is a real sport.......

I loved that whole unit - while boggling that an end-of-the-bench unit + Post a. played as a unit; b. were extremely poised; and c. pulled off the comeback. That really is deep. And a huge win for the team concept.

great 4th quarter from the young group. Fun, active, and pushing through it. Post, Gui, and Spencer looking solid - Will Richard looking like he belongs. And Cryer making his case to play somewhere.

health is the potential issue, of course. I'm also intrigued with 2 Horford potentials - playing him with Post and creating a real 5-out unit, and if (as Kerr hopes) having him play with JK opens Kuminga up more for drives.

It makes zero sense to claim the quote is about Kuminga. And zero sense to repeat that it is, except as clickbait.

Particularly rebounding, he's clearly emphasized that. I am really intrigued by the Horford-Post frontcourt.

I am very intrigued with the Post-Horford frontcourt

it is, of course, not a solution that lasts forever either.
